text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):

Arinbjörn þakkaði konungi orð sín. ‘Væntum vér, herra, að héðan af muni skipast mál Egils á betri leið; en þó að Egill hafi stórt til saka gert við yður, þá lítið þér á það, að hann hefir mikils misst fyrir yðrum frændum. Haraldur konungur, faðir þinn, tók af lífi ágætan mann, Þórólf, föðurbróður hans, af rógi vondra manna, en af engum sökum; en þér, konungur, brutuð lög á Agli fyrir sakar Berg-Önundar; en þar á ofan vilduð þér hafa Egil að dauðamanni og drápuð menn af honum, en rænduð hann fé öllu, og þar á ofan gerðuð þér hann útlaga og rákuð hann af landi, en Egill er engi ertingamaður. En hvert mál, er maður skal dæma, verður að líta á tilgerðir. eg mun nú,’ segir Arinbjörn, ‘hafa Egil með mér í nótt heim í garð minn.’
